The solution features: a SIP protocol ensuring it is compatible with all types of terminals, including IP Aastra, SIP, SIP Video, H323, DECT over IP, SIP Wi-Fi or GSM/Wi-Fi, SIP or Aastra Softphones; a SIP Trunk interface for enterprises that can connect to Voice over IP operators; an architecture based on Linux.
